My Cartoonist Guide

Chapter 135: Yan Fei's Project

   The next day, the official WeChat account of "NewWorld" released the first day sales of the fourth volume of "Y\'s"-95,000 copies.

   Shen Xin was surprised that in the face of the aggressive "Punishment", "Y\'s" was only slightly inferior, and the gap was not big.

   For this result, Shen Xin is completely acceptable, but the readers of "Y\'s" are in a different mood.

   "5000 copies... only 5000 copies are missing. The first two episodes of the radio drama can be released. It's really damn!"

   "Don't just buy books, don't forget to send a questionnaire. How about 300,000 copies in total?"

   "I know. Go to the post office today."

   The moderator of "other forums" also posted a post.

   "I snatched 432 cartoons signed by Mr. Shen yesterday, and they will be sent to everyone in the order of payment. If there is anything you don't want, you can send me a private message. If you don't get it, you will be refunded."

   Next, the host posted the IDs of 432 netizens on the first floor, and asked them to send him private messages to confirm the information again.

   "Other sections" seem very lively, but "ComicFuture" is relatively quiet.

   Although the sales volume of "Criminal Punishment" was higher than that of "Y\'s" on the release date, the gap between the two is not big. This is the result achieved under the premise that "Criminal Punishment" releases radio dramas and novels at the same time. In other words, "Y\'s" has now been accepted by some readers.

   Many readers of "ComicFuture" find it difficult to accept this reality.

   Some of them have never even heard of "NewWorld", let alone "Y\'s".

   But it is just such a comic that was unknown a year ago, and it was on the same level as "Crime", which made many readers of "ComicFuture" a big surprise.

   "What's the origin of this "Y\'s"? So powerful?"

   "The author's ability to compete for this year's'Newcomer Award' means that "Y\'s" is his first full-length comic."

   "I know, but a newcomer to a small magazine is not weaker than Su Han and Diaotiao..."

   "That means the quality of this comic is excellent."

   "I suddenly want to read this manga..."

   "But don't be too pessimistic. Although the sales of the two comics are not much different, the novel "Crimination" has 150,000 copies in the first week, and sales are also very high."

   "Ha, for Teacher Su, this should be a basic operation, right?"

  ……

   After Shen Xin signed the book and sold his book, his right hand has been sore. Even if he rested for a night, the muscle soreness did not disappear.

   Fortunately, he won't have to work in the next few days, so he can take a breather.

   After calling Xi Muhan and making sure that there was nothing wrong with her, Shen Xin asked her what she wanted.

   "I bought everything you want last time. Just rest well."

   Xi Muhan said.

   Shen Xin heard anxiety in her tone, and laughed dryly, "Tomorrow? I'll go back tomorrow."

The three assistants were supposed to make a good circle in Nanjiatan, but since the book-sale meeting was over and they returned to the hotel, the three of them never mentioned it again. Instead, they stayed in their respective rooms. The next day When Shen Xin saw them in the restaurant, all three of them had dark circles on their faces.

   "What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin was surprised.

   "Teacher, we have decided to collaborate on a fanzine of "Y\'s"." Zhou Yang said.

   "You?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

   "That's right... I have been studying with you for half a year, so I want to try to see if my painter has made progress." Lu Ning looked serious.

   "I am in charge of the name, and practice the layout of the story." Zhou Yang touched his nose with excitement.

   Gao Hang opened his mouth and scratched his head, "Mr. Shen, I...I mainly want to practice a different background. In the future, Zhou Yang will leave and our workload will increase."

   "Uh...If you think about it this way, it's okay." Shen Xin scratched his head, but it was not fair to the other contributors.

   "We only draw doujin, we don't participate in the competition." Lu Ning saw Shen Xin's doubts, "Let's just take a look at the results of our study in the past six months."

   "Then... I look forward to your work."

   Now that the three people have made up their minds, Shen Xin has no reason to stop them.

   The four stayed in Hongchuan for an extra day, bought the books and tools they needed by the way, and returned to the sea of ​​clouds in the afternoon of the fourth day.

   Yan Fei, who returned to the sea of ​​clouds a day earlier than them, sorted out the plans for the fan and the bonus pool that night. Early the next morning, she took the written plan and found the editor-in-chief.

   The editor-in-chief repeatedly looked at the plan three or four times, rubbed his chin for a moment, and finally said: "The plan is good, but the operation is a bit complicated."

   "But the effect will be very good." Yan Fei said.

   "That's right." The editor-in-chief nodded slightly, "but the president probably won't agree."

   "Why?" Yan Fei asked in surprise.

   "You have to ask, but you have also pulled Ji Yinxuan in." The editor-in-chief said meaningfully.

   "Then you mean...no?" Yan Fei had a headache.

The editor-in-chief's temperament is inherently soft, and the operation of the comic "Y\'s" is personally responsible for the operation of the comic. If not necessary, the editor-in-chief will not discuss "Y\'s" matters with the president. .

   "It's not impossible..." The editor-in-chief frowned. After half a minute of thinking, he suddenly stood up from his seat and said, "Go, see the president."

   Yan Fei's eyes brightened, followed by the editor-in-chief, and left the editorial department.

   Song Tai has been in a good mood for the past two days.

The fourth volume of "Y\'s" has just been released for two days, and the sales volume has reached 18, and the stamina is even more than that of "Crime". The advertisements in the radio drama also increased the cost after the third volume was released, and barely maintained it. In order to break even, the sales of "NewWorld" rose steadily, reaching 850,000 copies.

   If you continue to work hard in the next two months, "NewWorld" may even have a chance to exceed one million copies.

   "Dad, I estimate that this week, the sales of "Y\'s" will exceed 500,000 copies, breaking the record of our magazine again." Song Ren looked at the report in his hand, his mouth turned upward.

"If we can enter the ranks of first-line magazines during this period, even if Mr. Shen leaves ~lightnovelpub.net~ as long as other outstanding authors enter, we will still be able to stabilize. By the way, you prepare for it. In October, we We need to receive a lot of manuscripts and set a higher salary. Both newcomers and old authors, we have to sign, to see if we can take advantage of this momentum to completely turn over."

   Song Tai knew that Shen Xin had decided, and he had already prepared for the worst. On the one hand, the magazine must support newcomers like Zhou Yang; on the other hand, it needs to invite famous cartoonists.

  Before, the volume of "NewWorld" was too small, and the more famous cartoonists in the industry were reluctant to come.

   Once the single-issue sales of "NewWorld" exceed one million, it means that "NewWorld" has a certain level of strength.

   Then, after another one or two years of operation, "NewWorld" may not be able to squeeze into the top ten, it will be attractive to other cartoonists.

   "Don't worry, I know how to do it. If we can find a well-known old author, we don't have to worry about changing jobs with the surname Shen." Song Ren glanced at the form in his hand and sneered.

   Even though "Y\'s" has brought a lot of money to the magazine, he still doesn't like the feeling that it will disappear at any time.

   is the most secure when you hold it in your hand.

   first declared war on Chen Zijiao without authorization, and then flatly refused to cooperate with "NewWorld". These factors made Song Ren dislike Shen Xin.

   "We are now both prosperous and prosperous with Teacher Shen, and we will lose every one of us. You kid, don't do stupid things." Song Tai glared at Song Renyi.

   Song Ren loosened his shoulders, a little depressed, "Dad, I can still tell the priorities."

   While the two were chatting, the editor-in-chief took Yan Fei and knocked on the door of the president's office.
